Legally Yours: A Game-Changer for Women’s Legal Rights in India
Manasi Chaudhari's book simplifies Indian laws, offering practical advice to help women assert their legal rights confidently.
In a country where women’s rights often remain unclear or underexplored, Legally Yours: Every Woman’s Guide to Her Legal Rights offers the much-needed clarity. Written by award-winning lawyer and women’s rights advocate, Manasi Chaudhari, the book, published by HarperCollins, is India’s first comprehensive guide to women’s legal rights.
The book aims to demystify the Indian legal system, breaking down complex laws into simple, accessible advice for women. From protecting oneself against workplace harassment to understanding inheritance rights, live-in relationships, and reproductive rights, Chaudhari provides practical guidance that any woman can use.
Chaudhari, the founder of Pink Legal, a UN Women-recognized platform, shares that many women face legal challenges without even knowing they have rights or legal recourse. "Knowledge is the first step towards empowerment," she says.
Ridhima Kumar, Commissioning Editor at HarperCollins India, notes that the book is essential not only for women but for men too, in understanding and supporting women’s rights. She emphasizes, "I believe Legally Yours belongs in every home." A must-read for women across India, this book is more than just a legal guide—it's a step toward freedom and empowerment.
